Then there were the Little Four («Little Four") with a 4-cylinder engine. But the price of the first-born - $ 2,500 - was unreasonable for the buyer, and so he had no success. Then popular Ford-T was worth five times cheaper.
William Durant realized that the key to success lies not in the fashionable pastors, and in its simplicity and low cost. He walked away from the production of luxury models, and began to produce low-cost 4-cylinder cars - open passenger Baby Grand («Baby Grand") and the sports Royal Mail («Royal Mail").
